SMILE-K Results Presented at the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week 2023

Earlier this month, part of our team attended the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week in Philadelphia and had the chance to showcase our efforts on a global stage. This event provided an excellent platform for networking with kidney professionals worldwide and disseminating our work.

Courtney Lightfoot presented the major findings of our multi-centre randomised control trial SMILE-K, which assessed the effectiveness of our digital self-management application, My Kidneys and Me, in an oral presentation. Additionally, she presented a poster on the acceptability and usability of My Kidneys and Me.

The team went to many of the other presentations and sessions during the event and especially enjoyed the following sessions: Serving the Underserved: Improving Kidney Health in Underserved Populations; Bioengineering, Augmented Intelligence, Digital Health, and Data Science; Nutritional and Lifestyle Interventions to Promote Health in CKD; Implementation: Breaking Barriers to Reach the Bedside; Interventions to Reduce CKD Progression.

Thank you to the ASN for organising another fantastic event.
